      • Central Lonsdale is a Destination, not just a busy road to cross.

    • Stated this is a HUB Top priority.
      • Also needs to be coordinated with Midtown.

    • Requested they extend bike lane protection for intersection up to Neptune terminal intersection, this has been deferred to work on Midtown.
    • Asked them to repaint bikelanes on Lynn Creek Bridge


ITC - Jonathan

  • Last Month's meeting was presentation by Translink, but nothing new regarding cycling.
  • Apparently CNV council is discussing the upper level greenway + the lonsdale/hwy overpass later this month. I'm hoping that preliminary designs come to the ITC for input sometime soon.


First Nations - Kira


District of North Vancouver

  1. Regular Bi-monthly Meeting with Staff took place in June - next one late Aug
  2. Spirit Trail East - Consultation continues, MSP work progresses.
  3. Projects/sections
    1. MSP upgrades substantially complete. (MSP = Mount Seymour Parkway)
    2. Phibbs Exchange: Please advocate to MoTi for more "lime groves" on that MoTi property
    3. Mountain Highway Safety Improvements - limited budget available and now in design. Meeting July 15 reviewed shows completion of Whitely Court to 14th. May be complete in 2024 as part of repaving.
    4. Arborlynn connector - expected to start in August. Paint on the ground for improved cross-walk bump-outs and a safer radius at Arborlynn
    5. Debugging the Network
          • Went well. A community effort. A lot of great work went into it, effective communication from bike community!
          • Some portions were CNV, they have been prepared for CNV and recommend doing something like this for each jurisdiction once or twice per year.
          • Liaisons will do best to partition into "maintenance items" vs "capitial items" - needing concrete pouring. Best suited items maintenance crews can implement on their daily rounds.
          • DNV report a problem web-app works very well too! Get a tracking number! No need to wait for next "Debug the Network" collection.
